Firefox
Learn how to integrate Oxylabs proxies in the Firefox browser environment following a step-by-step guide.
Mozilla Firefox is a free, open-source web browser for Windows, macOS, and Linux with proxy support built directly into its settings.
Follow the step-by-step guide below to configure the following Oxylabs proxies with Firefox:
Add proxy details
Fill in either HTTP proxy or SOCKS host (Make sure SOCKS v5 is selected) and its correlated Port for your chosen proxy type:
Residential & Mobile Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Host: pr.oxylabs.io
Port: 7777
You may also use additional parameters with Residential and Mobile proxies to set the geo-location (country, state, city, and etc.) and control sessions. Check out the Residential Proxies documentation to learn more. The table below provides an overview of available parameters and their example values.
Datacenter Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Host: dc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
The port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the proxy list. Thus, port 8001 uses the first IP address from your list. You may also enable proxy IP rotation by setting the port to 8000.
Furthermore, you can specify the geo-location, for example, the US, by setting the Proxy username to user-USERNAME-country-US.
The port 8001 picks a random IP address but stays consistent during a session. Alternatively, you can rotate proxy IPs with each request by using port 8000.
If you want to use a specific geo-location, for example, the US, set the Proxy username to user-USERNAME-country-US.
Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Enterprise)
Proxy type: HTTP, SOCKS5
Host: 1.2.3.4 (IP address from your proxy list)
Port: 60000 (HTTP) or 1180 (SOCKS5)
For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (purchased via sales), you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired proxy list.
Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Self-Service)
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Host: ddc.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (purchased via Oxylabs dashboard), the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired proxy list. If you want to get a different IP with each request, change the Port to 8000 to enable proxy rotation.
ISP Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Host: isp.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
ISP Proxies assign each port to a specific IP address and location. Port 8001 always uses the first IP from your proxy list. Use port 8000 to enable proxy rotation.
To get rotating IPs from a specific country's proxy pool, set the username using this format: user-USERNAME-country-XX, where XX is the country code (e.g., US for United States).
Dedicated ISP Proxies
Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
Host: disp.oxylabs.io
Port: 8001
You will need to choose the port assigned to an IP address from the purchased proxy list, which you can find on the Oxylabs dashboard. The 8001 port will pick the first IP address from your list for all requests. Use port 8000 for automatic proxy IP rotation.
Enter your credentials
Load any website. An Authentication Required dialog appears, naming the proxy you configured. Enter your Oxylabs proxy username and password, then click Sign in:
Residential & Mobile proxies
User Name: customer-USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
Datacenter proxies
User Name: user-USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
Dedicated Datacenter proxies (Enterprise)
User Name: USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
Dedicated Datacenter proxies (Self-service)
User Name: user-USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
ISP proxies
User Name: user-USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
Dedicated ISP proxies
User Name: user-USERNAME
Password: PASSWORD
Make sure to add the customer- or user- prefix to your username if your proxy type requires it.
Check your proxy connection
Visit ip.oxylabs.io/location. The page returns the IP address and location the website sees – confirm it matches the proxy you configured rather than your own connection.
You are now using Firefox with your own configured proxy.
If you’re looking for one-click switching between proxy profiles instead, see our guides for the Oxy® Proxy Extension and FoxyProxy.
